I just purchased a PW 5th gen about 2mos ago after my Kindle KB cracked a screen (I did replace it, but I wanted a little extra insurance). I even paid $20 to remove ads. I'm pretty upset about this.

I just used the Satsuoni method to remove DRM on the most recent version of K4PC (2.8.3) and it was effective. I did this on books that I had purchased last week. Not nearly as elegant as just dragging them over from my kindle though. What I'm most bummed about is that I don't think my kindle and my Kindle app on my phone will sync anymore. It was nice being able to pickup my reading on either device.
